Hi guys

I have an interior scene where the camera is facing towards an exterior pool (night shot). I have lights in the pool and the light does not show up in the vrayselect lights element because the glass is in the way - the element is all black. Just wondering how you guys tackle this?

Thanks very much

It works fine, the only thing you have to do is in your glass material and possibly in the water material if the lights are under water, you’ve to set the affect channels in the refraction part to “all channels”. It’ll change how your refraction elements work slightly though.
